the resignation Of the pastor. Rev. VIM.

was called to the Chair, with Mr.. j. j.
Prufer, Secretary. Upon the reading of
the resignation by the Secretary, an explain
alton was called for. by a member OF the
congregation, as to why the pastor resign
ed. After few remarks from the pastor, a
vote was taken by ballot, which resulted
in the resignation being rejected by a
large majority.
Rev. Mr. Settlemyer then made some re-
marks, insisting upon the congregation
accepting his resignation; stating that it
was impossible for him to serve without
entire harmony prevailed in the views of
the congregation, and under existing Cir
cumstances he felt it his duty to leave, al
though it was his desire to remain here.
He expressed his earnest sympathy for the
future welfare of the congregation
Another vote was then taken, the former
vote rescinded, and the resignation accept
ed with great deal of reluctance on the
part Of the congregation.
A committee being appointed to draft
resolutions to that effect, the following
were presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, The Rev. W. H. Settlemyer hav-
ing resigned as pastor of the Central Eyangel-
resignation being accepted

ton of our pastor, the Rev. W. H. Settlemyer,

found it necessary not only to offer but to in
sist on the acceptance of his resignation.
| 2nd That we express our appreciation OF
| and thanks to him for his diligent and sincere
devotion to his work as pastor, both in and
out of his pulpit.
